MODERATORS
I'm not asking the people in the courtroom to be subject matter experts.
But I would like it if the judge, the one person who has the most power in that courtroom, to be able understand a wee bit more about technology than a 5th grader.
I am not disagreeing with you, but I would argue not knowing exactly what firefox is is a trait of the average gen Z. They are surprisingly tech illiterate. If it isn't pre installed on their iPhone or a feature of short form content, they won't know what it is.
Source: Am gen Z and go to school with such.
The least they could to is bring in an advisor to explain things
Finally, an actual use for consultants.
Arguably less than a 5th grader. I'd argue that the average 5th grader knows that Firefox is not a search engine.
